Mission 12: "When It Rains..."

[Chaya Sar]

Not quite as dizzy as the last time she was transportered, Chaya asked, confused.

"What are they?"

[Morgan Freeman]

Morgan sat at the master station in engineering.  The repairs where complete and he was just running some tests on the Jump drive.  He was fascinated by the drive and how it could be integrated into the Rivendell's drive systems so easy.  
The terminal in front of him beeped telling him the latest simulation was completed with the results waiting for him.  After reviewing his latest test, which was a power surge though the drive system during its operation, the computer reported from what it could tell that there was a 22 percent chance that the drive could cause a longer jump on the same course.

[Holographic Officer Beta]

"Raising shields. Phasers charged to 20%, torpedo tubes online." Beta calmly reported. He tapped another control, and the lighting throughout the ship shifted to a dim yellow glow.

[Morgan Freeman]

"What I am doing is just having the computer break down all the components of your vessels fuel to see what we can come up with."  Morgan said checking the status of the computers progress.

[Larial]

Larial walked into the lab looking nervous, she couldn't stand being on the Bridge anymore without her creator.

"Sorry to disturb you father, I missed you."

Larial walked over to where Morgan and the strange girl was, not knowing what to make of the situation.

"Father, who is this?"

[Taurik]

"Very good. Open a channel with the base command center."

[Taurik]

"Open a channel," Taurik ordered as soon as they left the turbolift. "Channel open, sir," came the operations officer's response.

"Borg vessel, release your tractor beam immediately," Taurik stated over the comm channel, "or we will be forced to open fire."

[T'lana]

T'lana had finished scanning the Jump Drive and moved back down to the primary engineering console, where she discovered that her Jump Drive was being tested by someone else as well...Morgan.
"I apologize Mr. Freeman, I did not know that you were running tests on the Jump Drive as well. I have just finished physically inspecting the components, they are functioning within normal parameters and show no signs of wear."

T'lana looked at the results of the test Morgan had performed, with interest.

"Fascinating." T'lana stated stoically. "It seems once the electromagnetic actuator is in free spin, it does not matter even if a potentially damaging surge of energy travels into the Jump Drive, it will still use that energy."

[T'lana]

T'lana and Morgan got to work on the Jumpdrive. First came programming the Industrial Replicator with the knowledge of how to build the separate parts. These included a Vacuum Energy Field Manipulator, Negative Energy Projector, Particle Accelerator, Free-Spin Dynamo, Vacuum Energy Collector/Converter, Hyperspace Motivator, EPS Adapters, Gravity Wave Inducer and several Flux Capacitors etc.

The whole unit once put together by Morgan Freeman, T'lana and two other privileged engineers; weighed 365 kg and had the dimensions of 2m x 1m x 1m. Someone might say after seeing the unit that it was too small to fold spacetime, but that was the point of the Jumpdrive, to be unobtrusive and connects to an existing Warp Core.

As the Nacelles generate a Warp Field, or Negative Energy Bubble, so to can they be used to fold spacetime for Wormhole Induction Propulsion.

Star Fleet scientists have been searching for decades a way to induce traversable wormholes, because in the grand scheme of things, Warp Drive is too slow.

T'lana's Jumpdrive allows both to be used with little alteration, the Jumpdrive's dedicated Quantum Nanotech Computer, which was the final piece to be added to the Jumpdrive, allows for accurate spin of the dynamo and monitors the influx of Negative Energy and Vacuum Field Energy to make sure spacetime folds as it should.

The one thing about wormholes, or Hyperdimensional Corridors through Spacetime, is that they can literally go anywhere and anytime in the multiverse. For time travel, you must accelerate the wormhole to the speed of light, either clockwise or counterclockwise for traveling forward or backwards respectively.

Multiversal travel occurs when the Jumpdrive's Computer alters the quantum frequency of the induced traversable wormhole.
There are fail-safes built into the Jumpdrive to prevent Time Travel or Multiversal Travel to occur, but there is always the danger of a misjump, but then nothing in life is 100%.

Once complete and attached to the Warp Core, the Jumpdrive was an impressive sight. T'lana was proud of her accomplishment and why not, of course she would never admit to it.

T'lana went to the main engineering console and transfered the Operating System for the Jumpdrive from her PADD to the Rivendell's Main Computer Core.

Once complete Morgan Replicated 4 flutes of Champaign for them to celebrate.

The whole event took but 2 hours to complete and when they had finished celebrating, T'lana decided it was time to inform the Captain.

=A=T'lana to Taurik=A=

"Captain, the task is complete and can be tested at anytime."

=A=T'lana out=A=

[Chaya Sar]

"Yes I gathered that, interesting, in my galaxy we usually just get Droids to do all this." Chaya Sar stated, brushing her hair off her face.

[Chaya Sar]

"Uh I see."

Chaya Sar smiled at Larial and then made her way back over to Morgan. Yawning again, she sat down on a chair and felt self conscious, realizing she had just yawned again.

"Sorry, you would think after being in stasis I wouldn't be tired would you?"

[Taurik]

(OFF: Red Acropolis is a planetary base... the captured Heraani fortress that we attacked a few missions back. Let's assume they only have the Rivendell in a tractor beam.)

Taurik got a blank gaze on his face as he began to hear the voice of the Collective in his mind. Although it was only brief, he was still haunted by his time as Three of Twelve.

The captain slammed his communicator. "Rivendell! Beam us up immediately!"

[Morgan Freeman]

"Yes, I was wondering what would happen if enough extra power was channeled into the drive system.  In theory, if we applied enough power to the drive then the jump would be a long distance away from where our intended course was supposed to drop us out of the jump."  Morgan said in a matter of fact voice.

[Morgan Freeman]

"We don't have droids and I will try not to take that personally."

[Larial]

Larial copied Chaya Sar's bow and introduced herself.

"I am Larial and no I am not biological, I am an android."
